Expert Solution

I.

a. HHtt x hhTT

Gametes from HHtt : Ht, Ht, Ht, Ht

Gametes from hhTT : hT, hT, hT, hT

Punnett Square Analysis:

	Ht	Ht	Ht	Ht
hT	HhTt	HhTt	HhTt	HhTt
hT	HhTt	HhTt	HhTt	HhTt
hT	HhTt	HhTt	HhTt	HhTt
hT	HhTt	HhTt	HhTt	HhTt

b. The Punnett square analysis shows that all kittens will have short hair and be tabby.

So the phenotypic ratio is: 4:0

c. 0% of the offspring will have short hair and be stripeless.

II.

TtNn x ttnn

Gametes from TtNn : TN, Tn, tN, tn

Gametes from ttnn : tn, tn, tn, tn

Punnett square analysis:

	TN	Tn	tN	tn
tn	TtNn (Tabby and normal)	Ttnn (Tabby and colorpoint)	ttNn (Stripless and normal)	ttnn (Stripless and colorpoint)
tn	TtNn (Tabby and normal)	Ttnn (Tabby and colorpoint)	ttNn (Stripless and normal)	ttnn (Stripless and colorpoint)
tn	TtNn (Tabby and normal)	Ttnn (Tabby and colorpoint)	ttNn (Stripless and normal)	ttnn (Stripless and colorpoint)
tn	TtNn (Tabby and normal)	Ttnn (Tabby and colorpoint)	ttNn (Stripless and normal)	ttnn (Stripless and colorpoint)

b. The phenotypic ratio is 1:1:1:1

c. 25% of the offspring will be tabby and colorpoint.

d. 25% of the offspring will have stripeless and normal.

III.

ssHH x SShh

Gametes from ssHH: sH, sH, sH, sH

Gametes from SShh: Sh, Sh, Sh, Sh

	sH	sH	sH	sH
Sh	SsHh	SsHh	SsHh	SsHh
Sh	SsHh	SsHh	SsHh	SsHh
Sh	SsHh	SsHh	SsHh	SsHh
Sh	SsHh	SsHh	SsHh	SsHh

The above Punnett square analysis shows that all offspring will be spotted and will have short hair.

Out of 16, no offspring are expected to be spotted with long hair.

All 16 offspring are expected to be spotted with short hair.

18. Short hair in rabbits is governed by a dominant gene (L) and long hair by a recessive allele (l). Black hair results form the action of the dominant genotype (B_) and brown from the recessive genotype (bb). In a cross between homozygous short, black haired rabbit and a homozygous long, brown haired rabbit what are the phenotypic and genotypic ratios of the F1 and F2 generation.

1. In cats, long hair (s) is recessive to short hair (S). a) A true-breeding (homozygous) shorthaired male is mated to a longhaired female. What will their kittens look like? Explain your answer. Show your Punnett square. b) A longhaired female cat mates with a stray male cat. The resulting litter contains two shorthaired and three longhaired kittens. What was the male’s phenotype and genotype? Explain your answer. Show your Punnett square.

4.In dancing bears, short fur is dominant to long fur, and curly hair is dominant to straight. The genes for these traits are located on separate autosomes. You have a large population of dancing bears with the following allele frequencies Short fur (S) p = 0.5, Long fur (s) q = 0.5 Curly hair (C) p = 0.3, Straight hair (c) q = 0.7 You allow the population to randomly breed for several generations. You have a population of 1000...

Practice Problems for Bio 1: 1) Short hair is dominant over long hair in dogs. If a short-haired dog whose mother was long-haired is crossed with a long-haired dog, what proportion of the offspring will be short-haired? 2) The common grackle is a species of robin-sized blackbirds that are fairly common over most of the United States. Suppose that long tails (L) were dominant to short tails in these birds. A female short-tailed grackle mates with a male long-tailed grackle...

) In muskrats, short hair is recessive to long hair and brown coat is recessive to black coat. (Both are autosomal.) You cross a true-breeding short-haired black muskrat to a true-breeding long-haired brown muskrat. Let L= long and l= short, and let B= black and b= brown . A) Diagram this cross, showing the genotypes of the parents and the F1. B) Now you test cross the F1. Diagram this test cross, showing the genotypes of the F2 produced. C)...

In peas, tall (T) is dominant to short (t), yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y) and round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r). A purebreeding plant with tall, green and wrinkled pea phenotypes is crossed to a purebreeding plant that is short and makes yellow, round peas. When peas from this F1 generation are crossed, what is the probability of obtaining a short plant that makes yellow, wrinkled peas in the F2?
